Zephyr Riesling from Marlborough in New Zealand has lemonade, lime, and spice on the nose combined with citrus and apple fruit notes on the palate to make this a pure zesty tipple.

Zephyr Riesling from Marlborough is made at the Glover family vineyards, planted in 1985 alongside the meandering Opawa River, have inspired the family’s passion for wine. It has aromas of ginger and green apple and a mouthwatering citrussy palate showing varietal elegance.
The winemaking to produce the Riesling is a pretty simple process – hand-picked bright pale green fruit – not too much golden sun burn. Gentle whole bunch pressing to produce fresh pure fruit juice that is left to settle at for a week and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks.

Zephyr Wines is a family winery based in Dillon’s Point, Marlborough and was started by the Glover family in 1985 after being inspired by other mavericks in the region to convert their farm to vine. They’ve never looked back and Owen and Wendy Glover, along with son Ben, one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed and talented winemakers, now produce award-winning wines from what has become one of the most established single vineyards in the region. Winemaker Ben Glover says “I have always wanted to express the exquisite refined bouquet, the precise structure and the ‘line’ of these aromatic wines from our farm. Zephyr allows me to do this – winegrowing is a natural expression and extension of what our family and I have done on this property for years and the opportunity to pay them back with home grown, world class wines is too good to be true,”
Tim Atkin described their Sauvignon Blanc as “about as good as Marlborough gets” and Matthew Jukes says their Pinot would “wow Burgundian stalwarts”. The Gewurtzraminer and a Riesling follow suit in showcasing the more savoury and ‘savage’ style Zephyr has become renowned for. The critics are proving what we’ve known for a long time: that the Glover’s are styling something special out of Marlborough vines that no-one else has.

Perfect with salads, seafood and sashimi.
